Welcome to Domaine de Louillé

Louillé is a splendid 18C manoir, set in a commanding position with extensive grounds and 150 acres of lush fields and undulating countryside. The house, pigeonnier and barns have been sensitively renovated to a very high standard. Luxurious modern features, fixtures and appliances, many with green credentials, meld seamlessly with Louille’s flagstone floors, rustic beams and stone walls.

The result is superb accommodation: eight double bedrooms (can be arranged as either doubles or twins); nine bathrooms (six are en-suite); three large reception rooms with a woodburner, 3D TVs, piano, media system and broadband; large eat-in-kitchen; formal dining room; fitted summer kitchen with a bar, dining area and barbecues; games barns with billiards, table football, table tennis and more.

The courtyard, at the heart of the manoir, is dotted with olive trees and has a charming stone fountain – perfect for al fresco dining or a game of boules. The large swimming pool is surrounded by terracing and lawns, with splendid views over the fields, copses and distant farms to the Lot Valley beyond. The immediate parkland is laid to well-trimmed hedges and lawns, with wide aprons of gravel, an orchard and plenty of quiet corners and spaces. The setting is idyllic.

Louille (also spelt L'Ouille on GPS) is located in the Quercy region, on the borders of the Lot and Lot-et-Garonne, near the tiny village of Thezac and within walking distance of local wineries. Tournon d’Agenais (4km) is a charming example of a bastide town, in a region famed for its delightful hilltop towns and villages. It has shops (excellent butcher and baker), restaurants, a bar, bank and tourist office. Mauroux (1.5km in the other direction) has a small shop, bank and restaurants and another tourist office. Markets and summer fetes abound throughout the area, and there are facilities for golf, tennis, equestrian and water sports nearby. The nearest large towns are Agen, Cahors and Villeneuve-sur-Lot; the region’s airports are in Bergerac, Toulouse and Bordeaux
